Trusted Lafayette Water Leak Detection Pros — Find It, Fix It, Prevent It

Hidden water leaks in Lafayette are costly because they travel silently through walls and slabs. We combine
technology and craftsmanship to locate the problem precisely and stop the damage before it spreads.

Hillside lots and longer plumbing runs can mask leaks until surfaces show damage.

Townhomes and condos with shared walls need clean, low‑impact detection techniques.

Five clues you may have a hidden leak:

1. Stains on ceilings or bubbling paint along walls.

2. Unexplained spikes on your water bill despite normal use.

3. Hissing sounds behind walls or near fixtures when water is off.

4. Soft drywall, swollen baseboards, or warped flooring.

5. Efflorescence or damp lines on foundation walls.

Why leaks happen:

- Slab movement and soil conditions stressing buried pipes.

- Over‑pressurized systems without a working PRV or expansion tank.

- Aging copper with pinhole corrosion from water chemistry.

- Improperly crimped PEX fittings or degraded rubber washers.

Our step‑by‑step approach:

Step 1: Open a small access point and make a clean, permanent repair.

Step 2: Acoustic listen and thermal scan to triangulate the leak position.

Step 3: Confirm with pressure testing or tracer gas for small, silent leaks.

Step 4: Restore finishes neatly and verify with a final pressure test.

Step 5: Isolate lines to narrow the suspect branch without opening walls.

Prevention plan for peace of mind:

- Know where your main shut‑off is and make sure it turns easily.

- Install leak alarms under sinks, behind washers, and near water heaters.

- Schedule an annual whole‑home plumbing check to catch small issues early.

- Replace old angle stops and braided supplies proactively.
